Title:
CHARGE PUMP FOR A LOW-VOLTAGE WIDE-TUNING RANGE PHASE-LOCKED LOOP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005099094
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A charge pump for a differential phase-locked loop (PLL) is provided. The charge pump includes a current switch configured to voltage to source and sink a current in a complementary fashion from a pair of differential output nodes. The charge pump includes a common-mode feedback loop to maintain the charging and discharging of the differential output nodes with respect to a common-mode voltage. Transconductance amplifiers are provided within the common-mode feedback loop to provide greater dynamic range to the charging and discharging of the differential output nodes.
